Web-based Training Provides Users With Real Life Privacy Challenges

A new web-based security training module from the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for Health Information Technology aims to help health care providers understand some of the common privacy and security issues related to health information technology. The innovative game-based system requires users to respond to privacy and security challenges often faced in a typical small medical practice. Users choosing the correct response earn points and see their virtual medical practices flourish, while wrong security decisions can hurt their virtual practices.

CyberSecure: Your Medical Practice was developed with the assistance of the Regional Extension Center Program's Privacy and Security Community of Practice.
